Same thing kept happening to me. The way I fixed it was that as soon as the cutscene started I tried skipping it, and even though it didn't (still loading...) the image didn't freeze and the whole scene played. I restarted the chapter afterwards and it didn't freeze again even without trying to skip it. This is the only problem I've had with the game so far (up to chapter 13).

What are you people talking about.
The game has been perfect for me.
Never crashed once or had any major problems with it.
Bully for you.
Also had the problem with the game crashing right after clicking play in steam.
I had to copy the game from my steam folder to my c: drive. Remove the spaces in the "max payne 3" directory and its subdirectory. I also had to disable my antivirus (Microsoft Security Essentials). After this ordeal i'm able to launch the maxpayne3.exe executable successfully (steam has to be running of course). It also crashes for me at launch when mumble is running in the background.
Game is now running flawless and without crashes for about 10 hours.

Same here.
I was about to say how lucky I am to get no problems but I just had 2 crashes in that last 5 minutes. The game goes all white/crazy in the second NY part and I have to alt tab out and close. During one of the Favela cutscenes I got crazy flickering lights and super close ups of textures. Had to alt tab out. I also get stuck in MP loading screens all the time.
Yea we kinda need a patch.
Same thing that happened to me before (i mentioned it in my last post) only in chapter 2, in the disco.
the audio was still running, but the screen flashed white like crazy and there was a strange revolver icon (not the normal one in the hud) in the center of the screen.
Alt tabbed and closed from Task Manager.

You've redeemed it. This is all MP content.
I've also not experienced a single crash or hiccup. AMD Radeon card here.
Does anybody know if it's possible to workaround Steam's "you have X free space available on your HD" check? I've got steam installed to my SSD and most games symlinked away onto a bigger, slower, drive, with plenty of space for MP3. But Steam prevents me from downloading because it thinks I won't have enough space on the drive Steam is on.
At this point I don't think it's possible to copy away the extra 15gb I'll need to fit this.

I have the mouse sensitivity at 8 and it seems alright to me most of the time. If you're on the floor after shootdodging however, the aiming slows to a crawl. You're pretty much guaranteed to die if you're out in the open. Didn't happen on the PS3 version so I'm guessing it's a bug or something with the mouse controls.

I can't launch the game on Steam. It gives me some Vista Service Pack 1 error. WTF? I am running W7 64.

Dunno if this will help - http://support.rockstargames.com/en...stall-a-windows-service-pack-you-already-have
I'll give this a shot....thanks!
I gain about 5 fps when I pick SSAO over HDAO.

It's weird, my first playthrough was flawless, but now that I'm replaying on Old School difficulty a whole mess of stuff has cropped up. I've gotten crashes, I've gotten people turned into living pants, I've had my HUD disappear several times, I'm getting scripted moments go awry like Max melding into the ground or a boat sequence where everything was perfectly still, it's gotten rockier the more time I've put into it.
The latter. The game does not have Steamworks features if purchased outside of Steam.
Thanks for the quick answer.
sorry been away, added everyone
Testing both, they seemed very similar in quality except that HDAO casted more and fuller shadows. I didn't see much in the way of better looking shadows.

My copy arrived today, does anyone have a clue as to what time the patch will drop?

On the back of the Manual

What manual? I only have a piece of paper inside my box
That's a bit weird. I just got my retail copy today and mine came with a manual with the product key on the back
Is it off by default?
No. I think it's just adjusted by default. In the patch notes it shows you how to disable it. You add "-nomouseaccel" to the launch options, to the game, in steam.
They say, next patch it'll be in mouse options.

yeah.. it's a big improvement without mouse acceleration.
Game doesn't have the annoying loading stutters I was seeing on my 670 before, either.
Good patch!

How is the performance with a 670 at 1080P?
Got myself one today, waiting on delivery

More than fine.
I stay at 60 fps most of the time at 2560x1440 w/ mostly maxed settings (everything but AA is on, including v-sync)

I'm playing on a 2011 iMac and everything defaulted to High, it's run really well for the most part and it looks very nice, as you can see.
Since the patch has allowed the retail version to play nice with recording programs I've used Bandicam to cap the framerate to 60 since vsync doesn't seem to do it. Works a treat!
Also, I tried to record some footage at 30 fps but it turned out kinda funny...

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Patch fixed my game loading. And mouse stuff. Yay Rockstar woo.
Hey, anybody else get obvious polygon lines on some destroyable objects? Good example is the pillars in the car park during Chapter 1. The chunks you can blow off the pillars have obvious poly seams. It looks stupid.

could it be because I just enabled my firewall... I use AVG... what is the port that I need to enter and where?
ugh even if I allow everything it doesn't work..
what the fuck happened
okay.. I had it in comp mode 3 ... I had to switch it to windows 7
very bizarre considering that it was working prior to the restart under a different compability setting
this game is fucking weird... the errors are horrendous .. but when it works
got dayum, today was a good day

Does the patch fix the problem of the Steam version not starting? I'm still using a crack because my legitimate Steam version won't start

When I first started playing the PC version, my stats weren't tracking and everything I collected in chapters 1 and 2 did not save. I lost all the gold guns and clues. I eventually completed the game and collected everything but I was wondering if this patch fixed the issue. It wasn't registering any grinds either. After restarting the game 3 times it finally started tracking my shit.
